All my life I’ve had to fight… …my hair that is. The text in Frida Kahlo’s 1940 “Autorretrato con pelo corto” (self-potrait with short hair) reads “Mira que si te quise, fué por el pelo, Ahora que estás pelona, ya no te quiero,” (Look, if I loved you it was because of your hair. Now that you are without hair, I don’t love you anymore.).

There’s something incredibly special about this segment that I want to make sure doesn’t go unnoticed. Black America has provided a model for uplifting one another in the face of institutionalized racism and inequalities: important and necessary work that’s essential to liberating ourselves. We (Black America + Communities of Color) participate and actively celebrate culture and celebrate black excellence in America on an English-speaking

Hey Beautiful People, How’s your fierce living going? I was just in the Lone Star State to celebrate my friend Kelsey’s wedding day. It was filled with tears, reunion hugs, and dancing. Not to mention the sweet ride Mazda provided. Texas made. Y'all ain't ready! Out here to see @kelseacarsun get hitched. Thanks to @mazdausa for getting me there in style. #DriveMazda A post shared

Hey Beautiful People, How’s your fierce living going? I’ve been busy watching plants grow. But really though. I have a garden! Kale, carrots, cilantro, the whole 9 yards (I think the plot is actually 18 x 4… badum ching). I mean, just look at my kale! *swoon* Anyway, I harvested some cilantro… … and carrots! Put them together with some kale (also from the garden!),

This inner dialogue was pretty much all it took for me to try it. How you like me now? Sometimes, challenging yourself doesn’t have to be Pulitzer worthy. Sometimes, it just has to be fun. How are

James Baldwin’s untimely death collided with his timeless work. I Am Not Your Negro dives into James Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript Remember This House, which was intended to be a memoir of his friendships with civil rights activists Medgar Evans, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King–all who were younger than Baldwin but assassinated before realizing, or rather in sacrifice for, the fruits of their labor.

Hey Beautiful People, How’s your fierce living going? Blogging is more than merely sharing an opinion on a topic or given product. It can involve styling photos, setting up an editorial calendar, storyboards, and more, all of which gets exhausting.
